We're the Only Ones Badly Informed Enough

[Use BugMeNot to bypass site registration]
Police blamed bad information for sending a SWAT team into a north Minneapolis house early Sunday morning in a raid that ended with shots exchanged between police -- who were struck by bullets -- and the resident, who said he was just defending his family.

"Who said"?

What evidence does the "Authorized Journalist" have for the implication that the homeowner's actions are based on what he said, and therefore subject to doubt, as opposed to what he did?

And naturally, "The names of the officers were not immediately available." Right, like "The Only Ones" don't know. But we can miraculously ferret out the names of the homeowner and his brother.

Some watchdog, this Patrick Kennedy.

He's a well-trained watchdog. For the "only ones".

So how is it that the police didn't hit the man when they fired?

Further information reveals that the cops were looking for members of a black gang. Perhaps if they had executed the warrant during daylight hours they would have figured out that Vang Khang and his six children aren't black.
